This folder consists of some substantive reports and correspondence, interspersed by many lists. Among the documents are the following: "Outline for Local Organization" (guidelines for CORE volunteers); several 1965 field reports on civil rights activities in the Fourth District; a tentative agenda for a 1965 Fifth Congressional District CORE planning meeting; blank forms for CORE project managers to fill out monthly concerning their activities and expenses; a request from George Wiley for field reports for "MAC"; a 1964 (?) letter from a project manager in the field to George Wiley, assessing various volunteers and staffers and begging Wiley to visit for morale reasons; the draft (?) of a 1965 letter to national CORE offices with a proposed monthly budget compiled by local project directors; a December 1965 letter from Bob Gore in the national CORE office to field staffers about CORE's dire financial straits. The lists include the following (most are undated): Fourth District MFDP offices and their managers; delegates to the Fourth District Caucus; official county registrars in the Fourth District; CORE staffers and volunteers according to their county assignments; county elected officers in the Fourth District; a 1965 announcement of the opening of a new CORE office in Philadelphia, Neshoba County; a Fourth District contact list which seems to include Freedom Vote registrars along with an assessment of their militancy; and the numbers of white vs. black registered voters in Fourth District counties from April 1965.
